Middleboro, Massachusetts-based Middleboro Recycling exemplifies the way auto and scrap recycling yards have evolved in the last 60 years to be environmentally secured operations. At Middleboro, for example, operators use a “rack” system to keep polluting fluids out of the soil; stormwater is gathering; and a geomembrane-lined retention pond serves as a mediative point between processing of polluted liquids and stormwater collection.
